Growing up, I'd just be at home, playing tennis, spending my allowance on an ice-cream truck.

Tennis has been around for so long - women have been playing the majors since the 1800s. Other sports have not had professional leagues for women for as long.

Tennis is definitely a star for women in sports.

Women's tennis has been around for a very long time - we're talking about the 1800s. But women's soccer hasn't had such a long history, so now they're right at the beginning of really trying to make things equal. We need to continue not only to advocate for women but to have men advocating for women.

My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field.

The life of a boxing athlete is short, so I don't have time to waste or time to take tune-up fights or whatever.

I'm trying to enjoy my lie as much as I can and I know that tennis hopefully is going to be my life the next 10, 15 years.

It was different when I was young, aged 20, playing the French Open. I didn't have so much experience. I just played tennis because I loved the game.
